On December 6, SpaghettiO’s celebrated the anniversary of Pearl Harbor with an image of one of their SpaghettiO’s proudly holding the American Flag while smiling and licking its lips. Possibly because of the deliciousness of the event. They captioned the photo with, “Take a moment to remember #PearlHarbor with us.” They’ve since taken the tweet down and issued an apology.
While some were appalled by the tweet, others rubbed their hands together and photoshopped SpaghettiOs celebrating other national tragedies.

On the bright side, at least they didn’t put up an image of their SpaghettiO waving around a cowboy hat while riding a nuke like a bucking bronco as it made its way toward Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
